    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks. I'm actually not sure what the block style is called. I just asked Robert to get me an entry-level Montecristi, and this is what showed up. It looks most like the Cuencano block shown on his website.

    Tan mini-houndstooth Samuelsohn that I found at a thrift store for $20. Fit me perfectly straight off the rack. The sleeves could come up a tad, but I'm reluctant to go to the tailor for a quarter inch.

    Vintage removeable collar question...

    That's fascinating, Alan. I don't think it'd work over here, though. I don't know that anybody has worn them here in a long, long time. Still, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check.

    My noir short story is complete for anyone who wants to read it :)

    I'm not commenting on the story or on NicolettaRose's writing; I haven't read it yet. But spell-checkers cannot do the job of a human being who knows the rules of grammar, usage, and style. There's a poem I saw floating around the internet once that would pass a spell-checker just fine, but...

    Vintage removeable collar question...

    I've yet to find a way to get some new stiff collars that doesn't involve my getting killed by the dollar-pound exchange rate and the cost of shipping from the UK. Best deal I've found (Stanley Ley) works out to nearly $30 for one collar. :mad:

    Sweat ring on collars

    They may be unavoidable, but they can and should be laundered out every time you wash your shirts (which should happen every time you wear them). See this tutorial for more info.

    You'll be in good company with leagues of performers who have gone before you, all properly turned out for the stage. :) You should pick up a morning coat for those daytime performances, too.

    I also tried it today, and I liked it. Except I didn't realize it came with ketchup. I hate ketchup.

    Latest Project: Mycustomtailor Suit!

    Big Man, Lapel width is an important consideration, but it's far from the only important one for a big guy. Proportion to the rest of the suit and to your body is crucial, and that will vary from person to person. Search for images of Sydney Greenstreet and Jackie Gleason, two notable...

    I'm afraid to ask, but what does "my lesbians" mean?

    Pocket Handkerchiefs from Target

    If you have a Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Filene's Basement, or Stein Mart in your neck of the woods, you might try there. They often have very similar handkerchiefs.

    Jewellery, gents?

    I'd wear a signet or claddagh ring if I had one, but nothing jeweled. Right now, though, all I wear is a wedding band.
